OT It seems to me we need to err on the side of caution and take some strong steps now rather than have a whole bunch of regrets 50 years from now. The problem with some possible steps is that they are severe enough that its hard to call them being cautious. I'm not sure that global warming is nessiarily just melodrama, but the evidence presented here (not only a hole in the artic ice but supposedly the first one in 50mil years) does strike me as melodrama. We are not in the warmest period in the last 50mil years. The tempeture evidence is very mixed and even if you look at the side of the data that does support the global warming theory the changes in tempature are not dramitic enough to have once in 50mil year occurences caused by it. It seems every time we have a warm summer or a mild winter its "global warming". This summer has not been particularly hot (at least on the east coast) is that evedence that global warming is a hoax? Of course not. Tim
